The Power of Praise

When is the last time you gave yourself a compliment? When did you last give someone else a compliment? If the answer is not "today" then maybe you can benefit from changing your habits.

Here is why : when you praise things people or situations several positive things happen at once.

Praise creates positive beliefs about the world

When you praise you are building and/or strengthening a positive system of beliefs by sending "Everything is working out great" messages to your unconscious which is a really good thing to be doing.

In my opinion, the importance of the role our unconscious beliefs play in shaping our experience of the world can not be over emphasized.

Praise creates gratitude

Another thing that happens when you praise is that you experience gratitude. When you give praise you are focusing on the positive aspects of whatever you are looking at and appreciating them, hence the gratitude.

And the good news is : the more grateful you are, the more happy you are!

It can help you make your dreams come true

Now if you have seen or read "The Secret" then you will (probably) know that gratitude is one of the main keys to using the Law of Attraction. If you want to create / attract things in life (I prefer to say create but attract is often used to talk about the same thing) then praise can definitely help you do this.

So you can use praise to create gratitude and not only it will make you happy, it will help you create / attract the things you want.

It makes you feel good

If you want to feel the way in which praise can affect you, try this right now.

Sit down somewhere and feel your body from the inside, get used to how it feels. Now praise yourself for 3 whole minutes and keep feeling your body from the inside. Can you feel any change? My experience is that it makes me feel great. When ever I do it, a few minutes later I am bouncing around full of energy and enthusiasm.

I would love to hear what you felt when you did this !!!
